According to the judges, the product delivers the innovative pricing features to the prepaid market that have previously been confined to the postpaid market – giving many more customers the ability to personalize their services and tailor them to their needs.

With Globe Prepaid GoSakto, users can create their own promo bundles by choosing which service components (either voice, SMS, mobile internet) they want in their bundle. They can choose how much voice, SMS or mobile internet they need, and for how long it is valid through a menu on USSD (a protocol used by GSM phones to communicate with a service provider’s computers).

I’m actually glad to see our telco’s getting international recognition for mobile innovation.
